Teaching in the Age of AI: Principles for Writing Assignments and Assessment

-

Location: 1030 Jenkins Nanovic Halls

In this workshop, members of the University Writing Program will offer principles and strategies for writing-focused assignment design and assessment intended to foster authentic student writing and, in turn, disincentivize some of the more dishonest uses of generative AI. Emphasis will be placed on the design of inclusive assignments that value student voice, the integration of process-oriented exercises, and a consideration of best practices for assessing student work. Time will be given to participants to develop and workshop materials related to the discussion. May be of particular interest to those teaching Writing-Intensive and USEM courses.

Presenters: Nathaniel Myers, Whitney James, Alex Ambrose & Michelle Marvin
